NATIONAL CATTLEMEN'S BEEF ASSOCIATION POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (NCBA-PAC)

Two keys: AGRICULTURE and C00028787

FEC.gov itemized-individual aggregates produced $675,410 when the employer/industry grouping AGRICULTURE was crossed with recipient C00028787. That is the headline number for this ties page, not a restatement of $5,317,336.

AGRICULTURE is filer-entered occupation or employer wording. Neighboring job words are other pages. This file does not invent donor names, extra dollar amounts, or a unique-donor count — that count is not in the packet. The occupation string and the association PAC can share a trade word without proving that a membership organization wrote $675,410 from a treasury.

11,495 contributions averaging about $59 ($675,410 ÷ 11,495) describe a high-volume itemized book (many small or repeat receipts) with a $59 mean. The packet does not name the 11,495 filers or say whether they are one household repeating. A line count is a filing pattern, not a unique-donor census.

Filer wording versus a corporate family

AGRICULTURE is a sector-word employer/occupation string, not a USDA farm census and not a cattle-producer license file. A payroll file would list current workers. This aggregate lists itemized contribution lines whose employer or occupation field grouped to AGRICULTURE. Retirees and household members can reuse the string. 11,495 lines are not an employee headcount.

The packet supplies no unique-donor count for this industry-pac cell. Do not invent one. Cite 11,495 contributions and $675,410 instead. The 12.7% ratio is $675,410 divided by $5,317,336. Other committee joins for AGRICULTURE are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $4,641,926. Citing NCBA-PAC as if it were the Agriculture lifetime total would overstate this cell by $4,641,926.

Questions

How much did Agriculture-coded filers give NCBA-PAC?

The Agriculture × NCBA-PAC cell is $675,410. FEC.gov counted 11,495 itemized individual contributions into C00028787. That is the join, not the $5,317,336 all-committee grouping total and not a corporate treasury gift. FEC.gov is the source for $675,410, 11,495 contributions, and committee C00028787.

Does this page name the people behind the 11,495 lines?

No. AGRICULTURE is a sector-word employer/occupation string, not a USDA farm census and not a cattle-producer license file. The packet counts 11,495 itemized lines totaling $675,410, not unique people. NATIONAL CATTLEMEN'S BEEF ASSOCIATION POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (NCBA-PAC) (C00028787) is the recipient filter. Neighboring spellings are other keys. This page is only that overlap.

Is $675,410 the full Agriculture grouping?

About 12.7%. $675,410 divided by $5,317,336 is the NCBA-PAC share for this exact string. $4,641,926 (87.3%) sits on other committees. No all-employer C00028787 denominator is in the packet. The percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that Agriculture as an entity directed the gifts.

Are independent expenditures inside $675,410?

No. Independent expenditures stay off $675,410. This join is itemized individual receipts only: 11,495 lines coded to AGRICULTURE and received by NATIONAL CATTLEMEN'S BEEF ASSOCIATION POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (NCBA-PAC) (C00028787). PAC disbursements and USAspending awards are other tables. FEC.gov is the source for $675,410, 11,495 contributions, and committee C00028787 in this AGRICULTURE × NATIONAL CATTLEMEN'S BEEF ASSOCIATION POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (NCBA-PAC) cell. The all-committee grouping total stored for this string is $5,317,336.
